We have discovered new groundwater supplies, in previously unknown and unmapped aquifers, in over 80% of our completed exploration projects. Learn More

Highly Specialized,Very Unique Company

Unlike the majority of organizations that perform groundwater services globally, we are not an ‘engineering’, ‘general environmental services’, or ‘drilling’ firm. Instead, as our name implies, we are strictly a technical groundwater services company.

Low-Impact,Sustainable Supplies

EGGI is committed to only developing groundwater resources where it is clear that such withdrawals will not adversely impact existing users or the environment. We routinely secure new permits by providing scientific evidence that our withdrawal rates are sustainable.

Recent Projects

Howard Hughes Medical Institute

Loudoun County, Virginia

Given the high expense of purchasing treated public water supply, it was imperative that the Howard Hughes Medical Institute – the largest medical facility of its kind in the Nation – develop on-site groundwater resources to meet its irrigation needs. Previous hired consultants had drilled 9 test wells yielding less than 5 GPM each. EGGI was subsequently hired and needed to drill only one well – yielding 350 GPM – to meet the entire water needs of the project.

The Peterson Companies

Dulles Discovery: Chantilly, Virginia

Following a recent interruption of its municipal water service, the NSA demanded new on-site, backup water sources to mitigate future supply risks at this 2.4 million sq. ft. data center and government office park. Selected for our ability to source high-yield wells in challenging terrains – and our track record with other large government agencies – EGGI successfully identified and developed wells yielding 450 GPM, exceeding the NSA’s desired goal.

The MMM Design Group

Fauquier County, Virginia

Tasked with designing and building a state-of-the-art data center on behalf of a client, the MMM Design Group wanted to develop on-site groundwater supplies – required to keep the servers cool and running 24/7 – as their primary water source. EGGI was selected to complete its advanced groundwater exploration and development program, and successfully developed two wells yielding a combined 200 GPM – exceeding the entire water needs of the project.

Cobb County-Marrietta Water Authority

Cobb County, Georgia

EGGI was contracted to conduct a (365 sq. mi.) Regional Groundwater Availability Assessment for the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority (CCMWA), the second largest water purveyor in Georgia. EGGI’s assessment received high acclaim from the Georgia Geological Survey, the USGS, and the CCMWA – identifying an estimated 10-15 MGD of supply from fractured bedrock aquifers in the County. The first two wells drilled into crystalline rocks of the Georgia Piedmont province yielded nearly 1 MGD.

Culpeper County

Virginia

EGGI was contracted to investigate the availability and protectability of groundwater resources in eight regional service areas throughout Culpeper County. As part of its Regional Assessment, EGGI identified several significant bedrock aquifers – capable of yielding several million gallons per day – that had not previously been discovered or accessed. A new Countywide water resource development plan, and long-term groundwater protection program, are being developed as a result.

Forsyth County Department of Water & Sewer

Forsyth County, Georgia

The crystalline bedrock that underlies Forsyth County is commonly not thought of as a highly productive aquifer. Properly located wells, however, can tap specific, highly fractured bedrock features and achieve high yields. At the request of the Water and Sewer Authority, one such exploratory target was recently located and drilled by EGGI at the McClure Project site. Test wells drilled at the site produced a combined airlift yield of nearly 1MGD, substantially exceeding other wells drilled in the area.

Latest News

As consulting hydrogeologists since 1989, EGGI recently reached the milestone of developing 100,000,000 gallons per day of new, previously untapped groundwater resources for numerous private and public clients throughout the U.S. Eastern Seaboard.
